Video Transcript for Feature Breakdown: B and W 5th Wheel Lifting Device for Companion and Patriot Hitches

Today we're going to take a look at the BMW fifth wheel lifting device for the Companion and Patriot hitches. Now, this is a heavy duty steel tool that'll let you list your BMW fifth wheel hitch from your truck bed with the hoists. It is designed to work with the BMW Companion series or the Patriot 5th wheel hitches.Basically this will lower down into the fifth wheel hitch and the jaws of the fifth wheel clamp around this device for a nice secure grip. Then you just attach a hoisting cable to the opening right up here. Now, the hoisting cable is not included. Then you'll just lift your hitch straight out of your truck bed.

Makes it very easy to remove your fifth wheel from your truck.This is a steel construction. It's a nice gray color. Now the maximum load capacity on this tool is 500 pounds, so you do not want to lift loads over 500 pounds. This part is made in the USA, but that should do it for the review on the BMW fifth wheel lifting device for Companion and Patriot hitches.

I hung a winch from ceiling of my garage. I back my truck under winch and with B&W lifting device I am able to remove or install my B&W slider hitch by myself. I lower the hitch onto a 4 wheel dolly and move away for storage. The lifting device keeps the hitch level and balanced while enabling me to drift as needed with cable to drop into puck system in my 2024 F350. Used to use nylon straps but not balanced or level when using.



by:

Great invention. Finally I can effortlessly move my hitch in and out of the truck! Just close the hitch jaws on the lifting device, and it is ready to hoist. I love this thing!!

This hitch lifting device is perfect. It takes less than 10 seconds to lock in in the hitch jaws, and I’m ready to hoist using my block and tackle. I can hoist it in or out of the truck in a few minutes.

Lifting device continues to work fine after a year. No issues.

I have used a B &W hitch for several years, and would be hard pressed to use any other brand. The problem I have experienced with this hitch is it is quite heavy, and awkward to remove from my truck by myself. When I found the B &W lifting device, I was excited to use it, and save my back! It has helped me tremendously as I recently broke my back and unable to lift the things I used to. Thanks to etrailer for showing me a better way!

I use the lifting device and the front loader on my tractor to remove and store the B&W 5th wheel hitch. It takes all of the work out of that task and saves my back. Bill

This is the perfect adapter for my B&W Companion 5th Wheel hitch! I installed a small wrench on my garage ceiling and now installing my hitch is soooooo much easier! Great price and timely shipping! Honestly I have found etrailer to be a very reputable and trustworthy company to deal with! I have made several large purchases from them and have been pleased every time!



by:

Heavy duty! Works great lifting my B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch. Keeps the hitch level and balanced while lifting.

It was used to install and will be used for removal and servicing of the B&W Patriot 18K hitch that we purchased from you as well. I would like to see better protection for the hitch. I'm very particular. Thank you for your customer service.

You cannot go without this helpful tool. Lock it in and hoist the 5th wheel hitch right out!!!

I used my B&E Lifting Device one last time as I have sold my hitch, it worked just as good the last time as the first time I used it. I know the new owner will be as pleased as I was using it. Thank you,

I have been using straps to lift my 5th wheel until this tool came along. Fit my B&W patriot slider hitch perfectly and the eyelet for the hook on my lifting hoist makes this a perfect fit!

Perfect for bad backs to use a lift.......easy ,safe, don't forget to close the latch!

This tool is the best tool that I have ever bought I can install or remove my B&W hitch in minutes without lifting a finger. I use a n electric winch mounted on my garage ceiling to lift it in and out and it takes no time to do it. No more back aches.

  • Lighter 5th Wheel Hitch for a Ram 2500 w/ a 6-1/2' Bed and the Factory Puck System
    Hey James, welcome back. That B&W item # BWRVK3670 is super reliable but you are not the only one who's had issues with how heavy it is. Love how you have already attempted our go to solution of taking off the lightest portion of the hitch. I have a couple of options for a replacement though. The first is if you want to retain the slider function. It's the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw item # DM57YV. This hitch also mounts in your puck system and weighs 233 lbs.

  • Best Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty With Ford Factory Prep Package
    You mentioned wanting a light slider, though I do have to say that all 5th wheel hitches are going to have some heft to them. That said, there are ways to make it more manageable to remove them from the bed, which you can do by removing the head unit first and then the base, though it will still take two people to remove. Having said that, I will give you a couple options, starting with what is absolutely the best sliding 5th wheel hitch for your 2019 Ford F-250 with the factory Ford...

    Hello Ron, Going to be installing it yourself, I can see why you would want to know about the weight. I would make sure to eat a bowl of Wheaties the day of. First off, great choice with going with the B&W, definitely always my go to brand. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w Slider for Ford Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3370 is too heavy to ship UPS so it will be delivered by Freight Truck on a pallet. The base weighs 192 pounds, and the head weighs 70 pounds....

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for use w/ a Turning Point Pin Box and the Ford Factory Puck System
    Congrats on all your new toys! I do not think a Curt 5th wheel hitch, like item # C16120, is the best for your set up. You would need to purchase an adapter rail item # C88KR to use this hitch with your puck system. This adds weight, cost, and complication to installing and removing the hitch so you can have full access to your bed. This combo weighs 193 lbs. A way better option, and what I highly recommend, is to use the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3300. This 5th wheel...

    These are really good questions and we can definitely set you up with the right 5th wheel hitch for your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 short (also called standard) bed, but to quickly answer your question about underbed brackets, there aren't any that are universal (as nice as that would be), they are only designed to be used with specific 5th wheel hitches.

    The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3370 weighs 262 lbs. It has been confirmed to fit the puck system in the new 2024 Ford trucks. If weight is an issue, I recommend purchasing the B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device for Companion item # BWRVXA3130. This heavy duty steel tool lets you lift your B&W 5th-wheel hitch from your truck bed with a hoist. The 5th-Wheel jaws clamp around the device for a secure grip.

  • Curt CrossWing or Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2021 Ram 2500
    If you are wanting something light weight then the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C86JR is the right hitch for you. The CrossWing weighs in at 87 lbs. The main concern with using the CrossWing on your 2021 Ram 2500 is that you have the shorter 6-1/2' bed. This hitch does have a 5" offset that pushes the connection point back towards your tailgate but depending on how large the nose is on your Keystone Montana you may have issues turning and backing.

    Yes, you do need a slider, for turning clearance, to haul a 5th wheel trailer with your 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500. Since your truck has the GM factory puck system, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3775. The Companion Slider has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns and backing. Besides being made in the USA, one of the main reason the Companion is the best option for a sliding 5th wheel is the 1" thick dual jaws...

I saw you purchased the B&W Companion item # BWRVK3715. As you have figured out the B&W Companion weighs over 150 lbs. If that's not something you're interested in moving by yourself and don't want to have to rely on someone to help you then I recommend...

    The B&W Companion Slider # BWRVK3775 is really hard to argue with as being the best sliding 5th wheel hitch for your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 with the puck system. Not only is it a great hitch when it comes to quality, but it also has the mounting pieces built right into the base piece so you won't need an adapter like you do with practically every other sliding hitch that fits your pickup.
